That seems very reasonable an explanation.  Thank you. :)

I didn't know that the problem had something to do with EQN's inline
equation.  It wasn't so obvious, but it makes sense nonetheless.

I also find it funny if I ever need to talk about money in dollars: a
dollar sign ($) is obviously needed.  Tried escaping the $ like `\$', but
that ..obviously.. didn't work.  I guess the only way to use $ signs
properly is to use a different delimiter or tell EQN, ``delim off''.
